Zen Space: The Vision Board

Zen Space: The Vision Board

Bellisana 14/04/2018 0
Finally, it’s officially spring, and Beltane is fast approaching. As I finish my vision board, I thought I would share what helps me when I’m doing my vision board, and hopefully, my tips will help you as well. As you know, for me, this is part of the whole spring cleaning, rebirth ritual to renew my mind and my office space, so I want all the energy in it to be positive. We’ve discussed setting up and making sure your Vision board is where you can easily see it every day.I view this recreating my space process as my own spring ritual, and while we will probably attend the local Beltane ritual, this is how I connect the creative energy of my workspace with the energy of the universe and the spirit of fertility and rebirth of Beltane, and we’ll have a small celebration ritual at home on Beltane Eve.Since this happens in steps which I may or may not complete on the same day, I find it helpful to meditate for a few minutes each time before I start working on it. It helps me relax and prep...

Waning Moon Spell for Banishing Negative Energy

Waning Moon Spell for Banishing Negative Energy

Bellisana 07/04/2018 0
What can you do with the waning moon? Most of the time, we focus spells on the waxing moon, and for good reason. They help us draw positive things. But what about the waning moon? What’s it good for?  We can use the waning moon to prepare ourselves to get the most out of our waxing moon spells by helping us get rid of our barriers to achieving those goals. Most of us have blocks of some sort. If we didn’t, we’d all be rich, and have all our wishes fulfilled, right? The waning moon is the time to work on ridding ourselves of those barriers to achieving that keep us from getting what we hope for in our lives. We can also use the waning moon to banish negative energies, and circumstances.  You will need: 1 White Candle (cleansing, peace, balance, spirituality, protection) 1 Black Candle (safety, reversing, uncrossing, un-hexing, repelling black magick, banishing negativity, releasing) 1 Purple Candle (drive away evil, change luck, break habits) Sage (oil or smudge – for cleansing negative...

A Spell for Peace

A Spell for Peace

Bellisana 23/03/2018 1
With all the shootings and assaults and general craziness going on in the world, I think it’s time to work on our connectedness with the universe, so tomorrow night at midnight, I will cast a joining with the universe to ask for peace. I invite you to join me because as always, the more energy the better.I am hoping the wind will calm down enough to do this outside, but it’s equally effective inside or out, so it’s your choice. It’s a simple set up, and all you really need are candles, but while we will do this as a group, it’s your spell, so you may want to add herbs, oils, or other symbols or tools to your spell. The object is simply to send a wave of peace.I use a chair or some cushions for this because much of this spell involves staying in tune with the universal connection while focusing on other things as well, so I prefer to be seated. I put the chair in the center of my work area.  Pretty much the only suggestions I have for seating is that it be comfortable enough for you to ...

We're All in this Together

We're All in this Together

It’s been just about a month since the Florida Shooting. Students marched on the Florida House, asking them to ban assault weapons, and were met with refusal when not a single Republican voted to even consider banning assault rifles. Of course, all the Democrats voted to consider banning assault rifles. I only mention this comparison as an example of how divided along party lines we’ve become, and I can’t help but feel like I’m watching a three-legged race and the participants are fighting about which way to go.Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost our connection to each other and to the world. I know this is not really “news,” but we’ve lost so much of our ability to see the big picture that sometimes I think we don’t even realize that we should be connected anymore. We don’t know what it means to feel connected, and unless we fix this, we can’t help fix the rest of what needs fixing in the world.   Guns and school shootings are, of course, major problems, but I’m not sure why everyone ...

Zen Space - The Office Bright and Fresh

Zen Space - The Office Bright and Fresh

Bellisana 27/01/2018 0
Now that I’m done with the clean out, I’m ready for the setup. This requires planning as well. Like I say, my office space is set up in a Ω shape. Once this space is set up to my specifications, I can reach anything I need to work on quickly and easily. Your space will reflect your goals and your personality.Part of setting up this space comes in the form of a vision board which I’ll talk about next time, but first, I get everything else cleaned and polished, so I can clear my head by clearing the space. That way I can focus on what I want to accomplish this year.The first thing to do is to make sure all the old clutter is off the desk, and organize the jewelry table in a workable order, which I must confess is much easier said than done when dealing with that many small pieces, and when everything is off the desk, I clean and polish the tables. Then I can begin the new set up. This is the fun part. Personally, I like to use a blend of Chakra balancing stones and Feng Shui principles t...
